World Cup Final... and More!

World Cup with Poor Ending
So I know that this is a bit late and after the fact, but the World Cup is over and the Champions are Spain. I still cannot believe that they won that game, but there is really nothing I can do about it! I think that for most Football fans, the game was disappointing and unexciting. There was no desire or passion throughout the match. I think that the 3rd place match was more exciting than the Final. The best part was being able to spend time with Derek @ Kildare's and having fun talking and eating lunch. I'm still getting over than Spain won because of course I was rooting for Holland but I'm not as upset as I was from the Germany/Spain match. The day after the Cup was over I watched the press conference with all the FIFA board answering questions about the Cup and some of the controversies. It was my last bit of the Cup to soak up! I am now looking onward to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil!!! I do want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with the families and people hurt in the Uganda explosion. I think it is sad and horrible that it was while people were joining together to watch the World Cup.

In Other News...
My friends are accomplishing great things. My friends are starting their careers, getting married, getting engaged, and going to Grad School. I am so happy and proud of all of my friends' successes. I am currently working at Kohls finally! I am going to continue to job search daily, and try to think of what I really want to do with my life for now. Not forever just for now. I'm going to Gettysburg in the beginning of August which should be a great time. I haven't been there since I was about 8 or 9. I remember parts of the trip but I can't wait to go back and have a different experience than before. Also I will be going to one of my sisters wedding. I am going to order a Greyhound bus ticket to help save money and I'm going to try to hang out with some of my friends. I'll be going to STL and then go to the wedding. I'm excited because I don't know when I will get the chance to see some of my sisters and friends from MO and IL. It will be a great time and I always have fun when road trip or traveling is involved!

Even though things are going well, I know that living in PA is a temporary thing. I want to travel and see the world! I have been to 6 countries and I definitely want to see many more. I love learning about different cultures and people. I can't wait until I can go on another Europe trip! Although traveling is what I ultimately want to travel with my career, I have been able to enjoy family time. I love spending time with my cousins who are 6 and 10. They make me laugh so much and it is so nice to be a big cousin again! I love being able to see my Mom and Pat all the time and just spending quality time hanging out and chatting. It's been great to have a big family and lots of time with family and friends.

SO...
I'm going to continue to enjoy the family time I have been having and each day as much as I can. I love having a wonderful family but I know that before I know it my life may not be in PA.And as I have learned throughout college, being away from your family and friends does not mean that you are not close or you don't love them because I most certainly LOVE MY FAMILY and FRIENDS! I'm excited to see what is going to happen for me since all these amazing things are happening to everyone around me. I'm going to try to make as much money as I can right now at my job and see what happens.
I'll be sure to keep you updated on my life and how things progress. I will blog about my fun in Gettysburg and my sister Rachel's wedding when all of these exciting things occur.

Until next time.
